Oregon's Champ Heavyweight Bill Carnegie, the former Tuskegee student who won his last fight via the K. O. route in the first round will be pushin’ leather again Friday night in the curtain raiser at the Auditorium. Carnegie fought his first professional fight three weeks ago on the ‘Talent Card’ show put on by Joe Waterman, matchmaker for the Mel Roberts Boxing Club in a search for new fighters. Bill’s opponent was the highly touted Bill Bettis, Heavyweight Golden Gloves Champion for 1945. e will be trading punches on Friday evening with one “Red” Kelly, a fighting Irishman who knows his way around. They meet in the opener for four rounds on the Joe Kahut vs. Fritzy Pitzpatrick card. Inieciion The came card will see popular Gene Johnson of Van Removes Samarra couver in action against Tony Kahut, the brother of Joe Kahut. Gene did not make such a good showing in his From Competition last bout to “Speedy” Cannon one of the best Negro battlers in the vicinity. Tony Kahut has just been released from the Navy and is something of a puzzle to the local fans as he has not appeared here lately. A record breaking crowd has been predicted for this bout that will bring togeth the two best K.O. artists of the Pacific Coast. Fitzpatrick has been winning the most of his bouts down California way via the K.O. route having lost only two bouts out of 34. He won 28 via the K.O. of which eleven were in the first round. That is some record. But Joe Kahut has been doing the same thing right here in the City of Roses. He has had 35 bouts and lost only two, and winning 20 of his bouts via K.O. A coincidence or sumpin’ is that each of the two fighters have been K.O’d by Lloyad Marshall the Kansas City Negro who is making ring his tory in the western part of these United States. It looks like an even bout and you can take your pick, but you never can tell what will happen before the gong closes the tenth round, if it goes that far. Joe Waterman is trying to get a match with Gus Lesne- vich, the light-heavy king for the winner of this bout. Such a match is well worth trying for on the part of the fightrs. It spells Mazuma with a capitol M.
